Bow Tie Cat with Squinty Happy Eyes, Britto Style

A cheerful cat sits upright with its eyes closed in two happy curves, a small triangle nose, and thin whiskers on both cheeks. The head is a bold blocky shape with one plain pointed ear and one ear filled with short dashed lines. A large bow tie with a round center sits under the chin, and the body is split into sections of diagonal stripes, circles of different sizes, and little scratchy line patterns. Three rounded paws line up along the bottom, some with circles and some with dashes. Thick black outlines make this easy for small hands to color inside. Try a different color family for each pattern, such as warm shades for the circles and cool shades for the stripes, then talk about how the shapes change from one section to the next. This printable page works well for an art lesson on pattern and contrast.
